Straight from my owner's manual: "A weight distributing hitch is not recommended for use with your vehicle. An improperly adjusted weight distributing hitch may reduce handling, stability, and braking performance.". Now it doesn't say they are forbidden, but it certainly implies it is unnecessary and more likely to cause problems.
Also from same owner's manual, tow rating is 4500 pounds for the 4WD versions with 2 occupants, the 2WD versions need an additional ATF cooler to get that rating. I take from that that the 4WD versions are already equipped with the additional cooling.
A 2800 lb UVW trailer, well under 200 pounds of camping supplies, 15 pounds of LP gas, empty holding tanks, and we'll say a 50 pound battery. Sounds like about 3065 pounds to me, and it's just my wife and me, so we're still well under the 4500 pound rating and 450 tongue weight. Yes, it's a higher profile trailer than my popup and it's heavier, but "maxed out" is a bit of a stretch. Hardly the first time I've been towing, actually towed my 1460 lb UVW popup for years with a Honda CR-V (believe it or not). I found out the CR-V was very conservatively rated for the U.S. version, the UK version had more than twice the towing capacity despite being nearly identical with a smaller engine and lower curb weight (and right-hand drive).
Horrors, RV manufacturers make smaller and lighter travel trailers to target the towing capabilities of SUVs, and the SUV manufacturers make their SUVs capable of towing them, but how can they possibly tow them if the naysayers say otherwise? Just a hunch, but maybe the engineers know a thing or two, and maybe in today's highly litigious society they aren't going to go publishing owner's manuals that say what they are capable of towing if they weren't. Would a 5000 pound tow rating be better? Absolutely! Would 1-ton dually pickup with a diesel do a better job? Heck yes! Is it necessary? Not really, but that's the myth.
